Also interesting is are li/ti-ligers/tigons. You see, ligers and tigons are known by all to be infertile. But that's only half true. The males are infertile, but the females are fertile. If a female tigon mates with a lion, you get a li-tigon. If a female tigon mates with a tiger, you get a ti-tigon. If a female liger mates with a lion, you get a li-liger. If a female liger mates with a tiger, you get a ti-liger.
But are lions and tiger the only big cats that can mate? No, there's:
- the Jaguar and Leopard hybrids, the Jagupard, the Leguar, and the Lijagulep;
- the Jaguar and Lion hybrids, the Jaglion, the Liguar, and the Leoliguar;
- the Leopard and Lion hybrids, the Leopon, the Liard, and the Leoligulor;
- and the Leopard and Tiger hybrids, the Dogla and the Tigard;
- but not the Jaguar and Tiger. Weird, eh?
